A Disgraced Rooster.


Last Christmas morning Mrs. Peter Bou-
dreau, of Saulnieryille, Digby County, went
to the barn, as usual, and got mess of oats,
which she gave to her fowls. Later In the
forenoon, she noticed very strange actions
amongst them, and that the rooster was
stretched on the ground, apparently dead.
Mrs. Boudreau, to make the best of it,
plucked him slick and clean, with the ex-
ception of few tail and wing feathers, and
consigned his remains to the manure heap,
feeling convinced that he had been poisoned.
Towards noon, to the great surprise of the
whole family, he was up again, strutting
about as gay as ever, though deprived of his
costly and necessary apparel.
But our good lady, being equal to the emer-
gency took him into the house and fitted him
with fine suit of overalls, and at last ac-
counts he was doing as well as could be ex-
pected under the distressing circumstances
Mrs. Boudreau, determined to find out the
cause of this strange phenomenon, went to
her oat barrel and found that bottle of liq-
uor had been placed in the barrel, and the
liquor had leaked out in the grain, which ex-
planned the whole mystery. The rooster was
drunk, as many other bipeds in bigger COM
munities were ON Christmas day.

as calmly as though the gentlest zephyrs
were blowing. After while the old lady
stopped and squatted down again, but steam

she went for the old man.

what an example he set to us Christians
Not "a word or a look even of reproof. but as
dignifed as monarch he stood until the old
lady had subsidized Her back was turned
toward me, and was wicked enough to give
the old man smile anda wink, but there
was no respose from him, and | may say,
too, that my face would have been drawn
down very quickly had the old lady suddenly
faced me.

correspondent Of Halifax paper has
been investigating the lumber business on
the st. John river. OF so much of it as re-
lates to Maine he speaks as follows:
One branch Of the st. John river, the Aroostook,
goes lar into the State of Maine. III citizens OF
the United States get logs from that region they
can make them into lumber anywhere In New
Brunswick, and ship the lumber, so made. into
lne states Tree Of duty; 50 on a thousand is
there are fifteen Mills Ten of these are owned
by Yankees. This freedom from duty gives
profit that tells when millions are handled. On
solemn oath the declaration is made that the
lumber all came from Maine land. Here is a
sWenp.a.i95ni put IL may never have captured one
mills at st. John, however, belong to them The
owners reside at st. John and have the reputa.
ton OF being good citizens
1t is this business of which the people of
Aroostook have for long time complained.
They reason that foreigners get the advan-
tage of the manufacture of American lumber,
an advantage which should go to Aroostook
workingmen. Whether there are frauds in
connection with this business, as the Cana.
dian correspondent seems to hint, is another
question for our revenue officers. If lumber
cut in New Brunswick is fioated down the
st. John as Maine lumber, sawed in st. John
as Maine lumber, and imported into the Unit
ed States on perjured testimony that it is
Maine lumber, this is serious offence. The
Aroostook people, however, complain of the
law which allows American lumber to be
taken out of the county for manufacture
they have not, recently at least, made any
charges of frauds.

A great struggle is now going on to decide
how tea is to be brought from China. By
the Suez Canal route in times past have the
teapots of Christendom been replenished ;
but American railways, in connection with
lines of steamers on the Pacific have found a
newer and quicker route for getting teas by
way of the 'Dack door" of the Orient. The
overland routes, in point of time, have beaten
the Suez route, and are now trying to beat
each other A great excitement on the Pacific
coast is over the rivalry of the American
railroads and the Canadian Pacific for this
trade. With subsidy and no Interstate
commerce law to hamper it the Canadian
road ought to make strong fight.

The st. John Globe takes very sensible
view Of the fisheries trouble. ''In the end, -
the Globe says, common sense must pre-
vail. We cannot allow the Americans to
poach within our three-mile limit: neither
will we be able to stand to the absurd posi-
ton of refusing to sell them all the supplies
they want to prosecute the deep sea fisher
les" The Globe also thinks that the capture
of Americans poaching within the three-mile
limit proves that the right of fishing in there
is valuable, and hence reasons that the
Americans should buy the right on rea-
sonable terms. If the right of fishing within
the three mile limit is valuable to Americans
and they want it; then the Globe is right
we should certainly buy and not steal what
we want of Canada's fish. But it should be
borne in mind that the American fisher
men declare that they do not want the right
of fishing in Canadian waters; that the num-
Der caught poaching does not prove thai this
declaration is false, since of all the greet.

The Reason wherefore Slosson Went
Away from PATHS Castle.
Mr. Siosson, says the Chicago Herald, de-
scriboS tine Patti castle as situated upon Al
picturesque crag, near the base of two mag
nliiccnt mountains, in the Swansea valley,
IN South Wales. The building was orig
lnallr two stories, N sort of castle, with tur-
icts but since Patti bought it vast additions
have been made Three Conservatives
have been added, and two elegant billiard
rooms erected by way Of LIS to the original
structure The Two latter communicate by
two doors. between which is an orrhcstrion
which cost $4,000 II was built in Geneva,
Switzerland, aud plays over 100 operas, and
has facilities for adding 100 more. This
wonderful orchG;trion Is inlaid with bronzes,
and is not only beautiful to look upon, but
ltS melody fills the castle as with the music
OF an orchestra of sixty pieces.
PATHS billiard parlor in the northern
wing of The castle. is probably the most
beautiful billiard parlor in the world. A
rich partition divides the parlor into two
apartments In one is an English pocket
billiard table as big rs the Old-iaShloned
Alnorican table, and in the other is IN
American table. Tho latter is a marvel OF
costly workmanship. Il is made OF antique
oak, richly inlaid with ivory and silver and
floor, expensive paintings hang upon the
walls, and near the frescoed ceiling IS gal
lery for a string orchestra. a grand piano
stands in one corner Of the gallery The col
lection of cues in the billiard parlor is ro-
markable one. II contains sticks that were
Presented to the diva and Nicolni by many
admirers Among them is one from Presi-
dent Diaz, of Mexico, others from VignauN,
iPiot, and young Jacob Schacfer, and Joseph
Dion PATHS tttor There are also four OF
different designs that Slosson himself pre-
sented to Patti.
Mr.. Slosson described the conservotories,
the billiard rooms, the saloons, the sleeping
opartnonts, the dining aud breakfast rooms,
the parlors and other apartments as the
finest in tho world"
One of tho conscivatories is full of little
cascades and singing birds, and the atinos-

castle looks down upon one of the prettiest
Sights the globe can boast At the base of
the mountain is gently declining Sward,
through which runs trout stream, whose
zlz-zag course extends along the mountains
base for thirty-one miles, Beyond this, and
upon the diva's immense estate, there is a
salmon stream which in its meanderings
measures thirty-five miles.
ALI the saloons, billiard rooms and conser-
Vatorles OF the castle are lighted by cleo
tricity, while tho boudoirs and private
apartments are lighted by gas manufactured
on the premises. There are, says Mr.. Slos-
son, ninety servants connected with the
castle, over whom q German named
Wilhelm Heak presides as premier of the
estate. He has authority even over Nico-
llnl, the husband of the worlds song bird,
ana Knows no superior at the castle except
Patti herself.
Within and without the castle. saws Mr..
Slosson, all is a sea of fruits and flowers and
foliage. The area of the estate is one of
magnificent parks. In her home Patti is u
queen, and her husband is disSolute sot.
Sne entertains her guests regardless of him,
While he entertains them, OF rather his
guests, after the most selfish style. He has
one sort of wine for himself and another, a
less costly brand, for them. He appears to
be madly but sullenly jealous of her all the
Wiillc one Is lduy OF DralllS ana force or
character, keeping her own accounts, man
aging personally her own affairs, and direct
ing all matters of business on the estate.
he is weak sister, with only enough
brains to comprehend the fact that others
SO look upon him. Hence his uncongenial
temperament. Patti maintains 10 horses at
the castle and lives in a round of regal
pleasure, in which Nicolini often fails to
participate
Slosson, during his two weeks stay, was q
particular favorite of Patti OF all the
guests at the castle while he was there he
was, he says, the favorite, His apartments
were the choicest in the castle, his seat in
the conservatory dining apartment was
nearest the queens, and most deliberately
decorated with bouquets and best served
with wines. And when he finally tore him
self away from the regal hospitality and
affectionate regard of the song bird he did
| so with the assurance that after her South
American trip next year she would return
to America once more although having al.
ready bid it third or fourth farewell
THE fact is" says Mr.. Slosson, ''that
| Nicolini was so insanely and foolishly jeal
GUS of me that concluded to avoid trouble
| by cutting short my delightful visit"
